Shari & Eric joined us on the podcast this month. They are 2/3 of the owners (Pete had to run the bar at the time of recording) of The Cellar on Treadwell – a venue in Hamden, CT that has a bit of history (with a few different names in the past).

We open, as usual, with what we’re listening to and move on to how The Cellar on Treadwell became a thing and the struggles of opening just before a pandemic hit and now striving with a fairly full schedule full of local and touring acts.

Jake & Drew from PulsR stopped by! We talk about music! We talk about PulsR. We talk about other bands they’re in. We talk about various venues in CT including their adopted home base, the Shop in Hamden.

We stay pretty on topic with music and the band. What a treat!

Jay Holmes and Kyle Holmes are brothers and 2 out of 3 of the owner/operators of Ritual Pizza Co. in Cheshire, CT (operating out of the Counter Weight Brewing space).  Ken (the other owner/operator) couldn’t make it for fatherly reasons.

We talk about what we’re listening to. We talk about how deeply ingrained the music they listen to is to their business and how it informs what they do from the visual design aspects to just how they vibe while cooking and how they want to incorporate what they do into events at the brewery and beyond that.

We talk about the beginnings of the operation doing pop ups and now recently moving from Manchester to Cheshire. We’re looking forward to having them there for our next record fair (in October)! Oh, and we talk about Manners, a hardcore band Jay was in, ever so briefly.  We veer off in a few directions. Check it out!

Tyler and Jen of the Neu Body collective who put on the frequent Heatsync parties and have now released a 12″ EP including 4 tracks from as many members of the crew. Tyler has been shopping at the store since he was a pre-teen! We talk about his brief brush with hype beast fame and general musical trajectory.

Jen’s musical trajectory is discussed and her painful dismissal from a college indie/punk band and how that possibly directed her towards DJing and electronic music and its production.  Conversation moves on from there. We get into all things Neu Body and about talk about what we’re listening to and so on!
